CMAG

Off to CMAG to seek inspiration. We visited the exhibition Word of Mouth: encounters with abstract art. Mark Bayly, who curated the show, gave us a terrific guided tour where he talked about the importance of the relationship between artists and their mentors. The title 'Word of Mouth' signifies 'the theme of conceptual dialogue, as well as the literal act of passing knowledge from one person to another across generational lines' (Mark Bayly, exhibition program). The artists have a history associated with at the art school at ANU, as students, teachers and/or mentors.

We walked to the gallery and took 'snaps' along the way, seeking inspiration in the streets of Civic!
